Gee, posting close to a million credit ratings this year, the 150 year old institution is challanged for downgrading the creditworthiness of this country.The result was billions poured into T-Bills , dro[pping interest around the world when economies are failing.This was a bad move from an institution that has consistantly provided money to build America, American jobs, and pay investors an average of 11% historically.This company is to blame for our debt?Are you over your head in debt and blame the banks?Obviously it’s Bush’s fault.
